About Rahob Tulku

Rahob Rinpoche Thupten Kalsang, recognized at just one year old as the reincarnation of Head Lama Jyamyang Drupbai Wampo by the Fifth Dzogchen Rinpoche, embarked on a profound spiritual journey. After rigorous traditional training at Rahob Monastery in Eastern Tibet, he pursued higher education at Drepung University in Lhasa and Varanasi Sanskrit University in India. His quest for knowledge led him to ten years of practice in Theravada tradition in Thailand and extensive teaching with Zen and Shingon Masters in Japan. In 1979, he began teaching at prominent US universities before establishing the Rahob Development Project and Rahob Dharma Center in New York's Berkshires. Rinpoche continues to bridge Eastern teachings with Western practitioners through ongoing retreats and events.
